Sharmin Akhter’s unbeaten 105 run knock helped Jahurul Islam City Cricket Club to an emphatic 141 run win over Urban Sports and Cultural Dev while Gulshan Youth Club beat BKSP by six wickets.
However, the other match of the day between Ansar-VDP and Rayer Bazar Athletic was abandoned due to rain at the Dhanmondi Cricket stadium yesterday.
After electing to bat first in a 21 over match, Jahurul Islam City Cricket Club’s two opening batsmen Sharmin and Rubya Haider gave their side a flying start as Sharmin played a blistering knock of 105 off just 65 balls smashing 17 fours while her partner Rubya remained unbeaten on 66 off just 61 balls with 6 boundaries. Such a solid foundation paved the way for Jahurul Islam City Cricket Club to post 189 without losing any wicket after 21 overs. In reply Urban Sports could only manage to score 48/8 to suffer a humiliating defeat by 141 runs at the BKSP-4 ground.
In the other match at the BKSP-3 ground, BKSP posted 66/6 against Gulshan Youth Club in a 17 over match. Chasing 67 to win, Gulshan Youth club reached their target quite comfortably in 11.3 overs for the loss of just four wickets.
